The Finley Rotary Lawn Rake 
(We are sole agents for California, Arizona, and 
New and Old Mexico.). 
Everyone who has ever raked a lawn knows what a 
slow, hard, tedious job it is, and how unsatisfactory it 
is when done; for the rake will always miss some 
grass, leaves or other rubbish. The machine is con¬ 
structed throughout of the best material and is so easy 
to push that a child can operate it. Simple and strong 
in construction, durable, with no intricate parts, it is 
the very acme of perfection as a rake, and will, when 
once generally introduced, be as indispensable as the 
lawn mower has become. In two sizes, 14-in. $12.50 
20-in. $15; delivered free anywhere in California. *

say that the Boss Roller, Heart Design, as illustrated here, is not only the handsomest roller in the world, 
but the most durable and best-made roller on the market. 
Nothing enhances the value and appearance of a house, whether it be a cottage or a mansion, more 
than a well-kept lawn, and next in importance to preparing and seeding the soil, is rolling. All lawns 
should be mown often and rolled frequently, if a good even sward is desired. The benefit derived from 
the use ot a roller on the lawn, especially in the spring, is not fully understood. The action of cold 
weather and yams causes the soil to heave, and if not firmly pressed back with a roller before the hot 
weather begins, the grass is liable to be killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of bare spots.
